One Direction

How about that music video for their latest single that just broke the record for the most views on Vevo, the record industry’s official music video platform, in 24 hours? Forty-eight hours after its release, it has been viewed more than 22 million times.

Or their 3-D movie, “This Is Us,” that comes out next month?

Or their world tour set for 2014?

Even a protest by the Westboro Baptist Church at the Kansas City, Mo., stop of their current tour didn’t seem to fluster the group.

“Despite the company outside, I believe in equal rights for everyone. I think God loves all,” the group’s youngest member, Harry Styles, tweeted before going on stage. “Thanks for coming to the show though.”

Moving right along.

Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne make up the U.K. pop group that seems to be almost more popular in the States than it is across the pond, or even worldwide. The young men are currently on their North American “Take Me Home Tour” and will be stopping at Chula Vista’s Sleep Train Amphitheatre on Sunday.

Still don’t know who they are after all that?

They’ve done something that U.K. groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones weren’t even able to do: They were the first British band in history to enter the U.S. charts at No. 1 with its debut album.

Formed on the British show “The X Factor” in 2010 with a lot of help from Simon Cowell, One Direction has a dedicated following — mostly teen girls, self-named “Directioners” who don’t mind that the band just kind of runs around on stage with no choreography acting like any teenage boy would.

They performed at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics and combine for more than 60 million Twitter followers. And they are performing for larger crowds and on bigger stages this year than ever before.

This will be their second time in San Diego. Last year, they performed at the Viejas Arena to a sold-out crowd of about 12,000. This year, they’ll do the same to a crowd of almost 7,000 more than that.

And if their show last year was any indication, the boys love San Diego. They got some free time here and went deep-sea fishing — one of the group members bragged about catching a shark.

Even before they arrived here, they were excited about coming, thanks to the city’s unofficial mascot, “legendary anchorman Ron Burgundy,” whom they impersonated onstage here last year. “You stay classy, San Diego,” they wouldn’t stop saying.
